I appreciate all the suggestions everyone, but I am not looking to replace any of my gear with lighter versions. I realize that if I had a lot of money I could easily spend it on lighter versions but that's just not in my cards. I'll be lucky to afford the airline ticket and to ship my bike out...no extra money for anything. My gear is probably mid weight items. I have a 2 person tent (will look into borrowing a 1 person tent like someone suggested but will take it if I can't find one to borrow) but aside from that I have no plans to change my sleeping pieces. I have tried out several versions of things and combinations and what I have right now allows me to sleep for more than 2-3 hours a night which has been rather hard to come by on anything other than my own bed. I like my setup even though I know there are lighter/smaller versions available.
